What about glaux?

[Maniac]

Hi all!

In my (old) OpenGL book I've read about the glaux library. Functions in this lib have the prefix aux. Are they an official part of OpenGL? And are they "dead", like I read somewhere else? If they are dead, how do i replace them with newer libs/functions?

AUX is not a part of OpenGL, and yes, it has been dead for quite a while. You can still use it if you like, nothing stops you. But if you wan't to move to something newer, I suggest GLUT or SDL. GLUT and AUX is very similar in it's interface, and if you know AUX, you shouldn't have any problems with GLUT.
